As a growing number of homes contain more than one computer, their users must find ways to network them. The primary purpose for creating a home network tends to be to provide Internet access to all computers within the house. There are other good reasons, however. These include enabling LAN gaming, data backups from one machine to another and the sharing of music within the home.

Truly excellent productWhen I received an email asking me to write a review of this product, at first I was skeptical. "A network cable?" I thought, "but surely there's nothing to say?". I couldn't have been more wrong.
Since I installed this 1m Scan Yellow Cat 5e Snagless Moulded Patch Lead in my home office, the warmth of the yellow colour has brought a little extra sunshine to each day. Over time, this has changed my outlook on life, and opened my mind to all this wonderful world has to offer, especially the ongoing pleasure of Category 5e network cabling.
Let me pause for a moment to say a word about the length. One metre: it doesn't sound like a lot, but when you've got to get that data from A to B, and the servers are approximately 45cm apart, it's just what you need. Not so short as to be tense, not so long as to cause a mess. With just a short loop to take up the slack, the one metre cable leads to a harmonious and well groomed environment.
Finally, the part that I know all discerning consumers will pay close attention to: this is a snagless cable. Ethernet cable clips can cause untold heartache, as that brittle and mournful crack signals yet another cable consigned to semi-usefulness. The soul is troubled a little by discarding a trusty conduit of information, but how many times can you plug it back in again before the tedium overwhelms your inner child and consigns you to a cold life of irritable loneliness? Snagless cables save you from this fate, and allow your good friend 1m Scan Yellow Cat 5e Snagless Moulded Patch Lead to continue to serve you through the years, as you both grow older and learn to look back and smile at your earlier naive years of flirtation with easily snapped cable clips.
In conclusion, if you do one thing today, buy 1m Scan Yellow Cat 5e Snagless Moulded Patch Lead: you won't regret it.
